"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said
Author: Charles W. Everest Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #357 (1974) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Cross of the believer Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"If you would my disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after Me."
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
Fill your weak soul with vain alarm;
His strength shall bear your spirit up,
And brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
And let your foolish pride be still;
Your Lord refused not e'en to die
Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
'Twill guide you to a better home,
And lead to vict'ry o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown. Scripture: Psalm 23:4 Languages: English Tune Title: QUEBEC

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #443 (1974) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Cross of the believer Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be:
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heav'n are still my own!
2 Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Savior too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
4 Hasten on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal day's before me,
God's own hand shall guide me there.
Soon shall close my earthly mission,
Swift shall pass my pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Scripture: Mark 8:34 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE
